    The number of students in the drama club is 7 and the number in the choir is 14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    X = Number of students in choir club

    Y = Number of students in drama club

    First equation:

    x + y = 21

    Since we know that there are 7 more students in the choir club than the drama club, that means:

    x + 7 = y

    A little trick that you can do to find y is this:

    21 students in the choir and drama club - 7

    => 14

    Meaning that y is 14

    So lets go back into our second equation:

    x + 7 = 14

    7 + 7 = 14

    x=7

    Plug both variables in:

    7 + 14 = 21

    So that means that there are 7 students in the drama club and 14 students in the choir club.
